Before the Civil War, a shopkeeper kept a guidebook under the counter to check whether your dollar was fake. Before the Civil War, America had no single paper dollar. More than 1,600 state-chartered banks printed their own notes, and the National Archives estimates there were over ten thousand kinds of paper. Every note was one bank's promise, so shopkeepers relied on counterfeit detectors, rate tables and discounts to decide what a note was worth. This video follows how Congress answered between 1862 and 1866 with greenbacks, national bank notes backed by Treasury bonds, and a tax on state notes. It ends with what from that era is still in the system today. Every number in the video comes with its source and year.
